90’s Mellow For Ages
After rocking out to this song a couple times today, I forgot how much I really do love Champagne Supernova. But, this isn’t a trip down nostalgia lane, this is a thorough look at why this song is so amazing. First we’ll look at that voice and those lyrics. Liam Gallagher has a distinct voice, it is very punk/alternative rock and the British accent gives it that extra flavor that we all love. His voice is never shrill or annoying, but is heartfelt and mellow, even higher pitched. The lyrics themselves are great. I don’t know if there is much of a deeper meaning or anything, but I love singing along with them and they never feel a bit cheesy. The bass line fits the time and style, it's nice, but never achieves greatness. The guitars are great, with notes spread here and there with strong chords that drive through that main parts of the song. The drums are standard and good, but nothing really that deep. The melodica (air piano, blow organ) playing through the background is genius and gives it that unique touch. The water effects in the beginning and other various ambient sounds are great, lots of personality. With all that said, I think the best part of the song is the way it all flows together so well, the song sounds like a long beautiful trip through an underwater paradise. It really is that perfect marriage of instruments that bring the song from great to amazing. I’m guessing that most people have heard this song at one point or another, and I hope you appreciate it for its sublime sound and easy rock that Oasis produces with ease.
